HARBINGER OF DEATH

[Irishwhistler]

Vultures have long been associated with the dead. Seemingly, these birds have a keen perception for past or pending demise, their ghoulish communion on the remains of the dead soon follows a longing wait for the slipping of another into the beyond.

The Waiting ~ A looming presence waits on high for the death of another just below.

Prelude To Darkness ~ The scorching heat of day is endured by those trying to live and those slipping away, one is aided and the other hindered.

The Reaper's Shadow ~ Lurking in the shadow of the reaper, patiently wanting for the last breath, the final beat of the heart, or the putrid stench to call.

Death Has Arrived ~ Launched from a high perch the spiraling flight on thermals carrying the scent of the expired beckons the vulture to feast.

A series of images captured this morning whilst out with me camera.

Great pictures and descriptions. Reminds me of the time we had vultures flying overhead. My young daughter wanted to see them close-up so lied down in the driveway. Lol. The vultures never came to investigate.
